Aşk Yolu Vuslat Tariki

by Muzaffer Ozak

Kitaptan alıntılar:

Allah için sevilen sevgili de, daima sevgilidir.
Aşkın evveli yanmak, sonu bu yolda ölmektir.
İki gören şaşıdır ve âşık olmaya özenen şaşı olmamalıdır.
Dervişin, hiçbir kaygusu ve tasası yoktur. Yegâne endişesi Hak'tır, davadır, derdi Hak'tır, dermanı Hak'tır, devâsı Hak'tır, davası Hak'tır.
Allah Teâlâ'nın ism-i asgarı yoktur, bütün ism-i celilleri birbirinden güzel, â'lâ ve â'zamdır.

Reviews

[A]

3.5/5
The book has a emotional but clear writing style to it and covers a few concepts mainly dealing with 'aqeeda or the explanation of love of god from an observer's viewpoint and stretched on a "material plane". There is some redundancy in the ideas presented but it doesn't necessarily make the reading experience bad.

Discussions such as the Four types of Nafs, the external and internal ablutions, and the last chapters were particularly interesting.
